Ok guys lookin for some input here, I like to ride everything albeit badly but my dilema is this, I currently ride a Mirraco Blend 20.5 T/T frame which I must admit I do

Like for park etc but I find it just a little too long for Flatland stuff as I was used to riding a Trickstar which if my memory serves me was about 19.5 now I know the

Trickstar headtube and seattube angles were old school and my Mirraco is 74.5 and not sure about the seattube angle but I would appreciate some input by you guys

to see if you can suggest anything suitable for me.

I really like the sound of the S&M LTF in 19.5 (Although I said I'd never buy an S&M) but fook is it dear, and the fact that you can't run a long post for flat then just slam it for park due to the seattube design

I want a frame with the following spec: Full Crmo, Lightweight, Gyro tabs, Brake mounts, normal seattube post, 19 - 19.5 T/T and if you can get it in chrome that would be the cherry on the top.

Cheers,
Steve

Eastern Tramp, Macneil Collier or United Tnez have a 19.5" t/t, I'm toying with the idea of using a 20.25" Condor for an all rounder, but the back end is a bit long at 14"

I don't like the look of modern flatland bikes, I'd prefer just a normal looking frame.

I just wondered why you have written off S&M?

i was in Custom Riders on saturday and they've got an LTF hanging up in the translucent red......fook me it looked gorgeous!

Pro's and cons going for a 19.5 if you ride a bit of everything, personally I'd rather attempt flatland on a 20.5 than attempt jumping/park riding etc on a 19.5.

I guess the fact that I'm a skinny cnut, have always ridden short fames, so I'm more used to them !

I guess it's just the whole S&M image that were better than you that I don't like, although the ltf is growing on me .

Thats a shame it comes across like that to you, but thats the first time Ive heard it said.

oldschool rider · « **Reply #15 on:** August 10, 2009, 04:39 PM »

As I say Alex that's how it comes across to me, but maybe the LTF is my frame !

S&M are my initials Stephen Mcpherson

LTF is my body description Lanky Thin Fook

Maybe I'll but one

I didn't think they did red LTF's although it may be a custom.

They will do custom colours, gyro tabs etc on request.

Are you sure it was an LTF and not a Randy Brown model .
